Safety blanket

 

Throw away your safety blanket.

Warmth will flow from me to you.

Remove the stabilisers

and though we may wobble, it's true,

we will keep our balance,

I will hold on to you.

Take off your safety goggles.

I won't blind you,

or let anyone

damage your view.

 

Drop the hard hat, let go of your mask,

I won't let the weight fall on you,

and you don't need to hide your face,

I'd never ask.

Take off the protective coat,

I won't rain on your parade.

I want you to make a splash,

not hide you in the shade.

 

Throw down your shell of fear,

drop the scarf of hurt you wear.

Let go of any ideas

of terror lurking near.

I won't make rainbows appear,

but I will sit with an open ear,

and I'll be here when the darkness looms,

ready to flick the light on for you.

 

If I give you all of me

would you toss it aside?

Let it become nothing

just litter on the breeze

or would you accept my weird side

and enjoy the ride?

Would you open up your heart

and let me see inside?

I'll open mine as wide as I can,

flinging my fear aside.

 

If life becomes hard for me,

If I drop my guard,

will you promise to hold me.

Keep stride, when fear is around.

Or would you flee,

leaving me in my own prison,

demons chasing me.

If I start to lose my grip

and my hold of reality starts to slip,

will you hold out a hand for me?

Will you be there to remind

of this shared smile

when mine is twisting into a grimace.

Will you wear the smile on your face

to keep it safe until such time

that my face can retake it?
